Elves is a piece of interactive fiction (better known to most as a 'text
adventure') written using David Betz's ADVSYS adventure authoring system.
You will find Elves '87 to be a major improvement over the very crude
Elves '86.  Elves '87 has a fairly extensive vocabulary. It allows
commands like 'Pick up the wrench and the box.' and allows the player to
interact with the many complex characters and items within the adventure.


A few of ELVES' valid commands (abbreviations in brackets) are:

climb		close		down (d)	drink		drop
eat		examine		extinguish lamp	find		get
give		northeast (ne)	inventory (i)	light lamp	lock
look (l)	look at		look in (l in)	make		open
pick up		place		put down	put in		quit
read		remove		restart		restore		save
search		shut		smell		take		tie
up (d)		unlock		untie		west (w)
